Copyright protects already executed ideas, stripping that protection down to less than a decade would be completely unhelpful.

Don’t be too excited, these are the same people that made Warcraft 3 reforged, that one remaster that made everything worse.

Nah, the 1st amendment does protect non-citizens as well as citizens.

I mean, that all sounds to me like a really good argument for preserving copies of every single version of every game. To go back to your Shakespeare example, it would be a massive loss if any of those adaptations were not preserved to be found by those who went looking, so all we had to go on was records of people talking about them. In fact, there are at least a few examples of exactly that: Homer’s Illiad and Odyssey are only parts of a much larger series which we only know exist because we have other records discussing it.

Yeah, just taking snapshots of everything isn’t going to let you perfectly recreate the culture surrounding a game at any point in time, but having those snapshots around is important for giving context to other records you have.

It technically means the government needs to pass a very high bar before it can restrict any kind of speech, that bar being strict scrutiny.

Of course, the view of the public and the court historically has been that blocking union busting activities has passed strict scrutiny, since it a) is justified by the government’s interest in preventing the kind of violence that occurred when union busting was allowed, b) doesn’t restrict actions outside of union busting, so it’s narrowly tailored, and c) is the least restrictive method yet proposed, only other method I can think of is compelling union membership for everyone.

If ethical reasons are a concern, you might want to avoid Trader Joe’s as well on account of their union busting activities.

Not really no. SMS is nowhere near as versatile as a service like Discord in terms of being able to meet new people or have conversations that don’t overload unrelated but potentially interested people with notifications.
